    I'm just majorly annoyed that this has been cluttering our media as well for days. I can't find any other news in any of the large online newspapers today. If this has been a wedding in our royal family I might have understood... but this? Bloody tabloids.

    This wedding stuff is awesome. I got an awesome idea from it, I'm going to find some nice woman at my age from some royal family, get married and live happily driving new Porsche 911 (GT3 non RS), playing games and reading forums. Government pays it all, sounds good to me :)

    If there are any nice (good looking and smart) girls at age of 18-24, from royal family, please send me PM.

    I personally thought the wedding was brilliant, and it was wonderful to see the UK pulling together, celebrating and having a great time

    Speak for yourself, i'm doing perfectly fine. Hoping that innocent men, women and children are murdered speaks volumes about your maturity and level of intelligence

    Agree HairyUK, some real dimwits on this forum. Why can't people just be happy for them? So some are born into a life of priviledge, so what? Happens world wide. Work hard and you too can enjoy good things. Life isn't just about accruing personal wealth and items (and being bitter about those with more of those than you), it's about children , enjoying family and the company of friends.

    We'll pass a plate around and see if we can raise the 62p for you if it makes you feel any better...

    I'm sure mass genocide is just what we need, that's certainly worked in the past.

    Grow up.

    I agree sdamaged99. They seem like a pair of relatively ordinary people, just in quite an unusual situation. They're just people with what is ultimately just a label associated with them.

    It's always nice seeing people happy - royalty or not.

    Shortsighted cuts to important things such as front-line childrens services, which will end up costing far more in the long run. Fingers crossed the next government are able to repair the damage.

    This thread isn't about what the government should and shouldn't be spending money on though. The rules say political threads will be closed.

    Excuse me ? Im an idiot for not calling on suicide bombers , snipers and earthquakes to wipe out the royals??

    Im not saying i agree with the cost of the wedding etc but what i was calling out was the extreme and utterly sick posts that came from a few users of this forum. And you have the cheek to say that the royal family supporters are what is making this country a laughing stock?? Sober up ffs

    i apologise for the bombing comment, wasnt you. Local schools aint getting the chop, they are getting filled with unruley kids from varied backgrounds and degrading the education system, thats the problem.

    once again im sorry about referring you to the "bombing" comment.

    couldnt agree more.

    its the previous government that got us in this mess, unfortunately the idiotic voters wont see this. just cuts cuts cuts rather than spend spend spend on what we havnt got.

    differences aside, i think it was an interesting wedding, watched it on and off as i did work.

    each to their own opinions etc, but its been along time since so many people were brought together for a GOOD cause, rather than protests.

    have a good weekend everyone

    I did watch about about an hour of it, but did not pay much attention. I don't really care about them, although i wish them well.

    The people saying that the Royals are a waste of money clearly have little understanding of the economy and how much of a profit we generate from them. These all help pay for the front line services.

    To suggest that the money we spend on them is a cause of the downfall of our country would be bordering on moronity. :p

    Damn, im Scottish, so obviously no love for the Royal family, as that drummed into most of us from birth, but some of the stuff on this thread is shocking, and from people that i actually thought weren't insane.

    People like to bang on about the costs involved in having Royalty, but they either don't know, or choose to ignore the huge amount of Tourist trade that it brings in.
    It's already been mentioned, but in other countries UK Royalty is a bigger deal than their own, in countries without it, people are getting up in the middle of the night to watch it.

    This makes the Royals trendy again, girls and women all want to see what the dress was like, the whole "commoner" marries a Prince is like fantasy movie stuff for them, and while some of us may scoff and laugh at stuff like that, it not a bad image for Britain, and it will bring in even more tourists, which is good for the economy in the long run and considering the last few months have been a mixure of national disasters, wars and countries falling apart, its not exactly the worst thing ever.

    If i was some Etonian, maybe i would be biased, but im from one of the most working/lower class cities in the UK.
